Automatic No N/A
Manual Yes
Configure the voice VLAN as the PVID of the port.
Configure the port to forward the packets from
the voice VLAN.

Manual Yes
Configure the voice VLAN as the PVID of the port.
Configure the port to forward the packets from
the voice VLAN without VLAN tags.
If an IP phone sends out tagged voice traffic, and its accessing port is configured with 802.1X
authentication, guest VLAN, Auth-Fail VLAN, or critical VLAN, the VLAN ID must be different for the
following VLANs:
• Voice VLAN.
• PVID of the accessing port.
• 802.1X guest, Auth-Fail, or critical VLAN.
If an IP phone sends out untagged voice traffic, the PVID of the accessing port must be the voice VLAN.
As a result, 802.1X authentication is not supported.
Security mode and normal mode of voice VLANs
Depending on the incoming packet filtering mechanisms, a voice VLAN-enabled port can operate in one
of the following modes:
• Normal mode—The port receives voice-VLAN-tagged packets and forwards them in the voice
VLAN without examining their MAC addresses. If the PVID of the port is the voice VLAN and the
port operates in manual VLAN assignment mode, the port forwards all the received untagged
packets in the voice VLAN.
In this mode, voice VLANs are vulnerable to traffic attacks. Malicious users might send large
quantities of forged voice-VLAN-tagged or untagged packets to consume the voice VLAN
bandwidth to affect normal voice communication.
• Security mode—The port uses the source MAC addresses of voice packets to match the OUI
addresses of the device. Packets that fail the match will be dropped.
